Isiah Thomas: Lebron Considered Knicks

Must be a slow news day, if Isiah’s mind reading skills are news worthy. I’m watching Greece-Spain and would love to see Ricky Rubio in orange and blue.

he should already be a knick.That whole 09 draft was a nightmare

STFU Isiah

i heard thru the GRAPEVINE zeke will replace donnie by the allstar break,mayb it’s just a rumors,the best part of what i heard was if he returns his job is to CAN danni boy.stay tuned folks.

Will Larry Brown be the coach LOL. I hope he’s not back. That Melo cap space will be shot by the time next offseason comes around.

that’s good your reading between the lines,if zeke get’s a second chance why not L.B rite.

as for the cap i think zeke bring in talent not sure if they are going to mesh

Your obviously f*cking nuts

DUCK!!! A Lebron and Isiah post..

i’d rather talk about the second coming .. Timofey Mozgov \\

with Azubuike down and Rautins likely a wasted pick this team looks painfully thin n the back court.

Forget about Lebron… exciting games the last few days between Greece and Spain, Serbia and Croatia, Greece and Russia, Argentina and Serbia. Still can’t believe Puerto Rico didn’t play well enough to make it through. France looks pretty good–and that’s without Parker, Noah, Pietrus, etc. Lithuania, Brazil…what a great tournament. I’m a kid in a candy store right now. Let’s see if the U.S. and Russia get a chance to meet in the next round. This is fun.

haha wow.

Anyone see this on real gm?

“Knicks president Donnie Walsh recently rejected a three-team deal that would have sent Anthony Randolph to Indiana, a first-round pick to Portland and Rudy Fernandez to New York, according to a team source.”

Now that would have been aweful.

Rautins likely waisted pick? That’s a very bold statement. Calling a second round pick a waste of a pick before he ever puts on a uniform.

You are right though, we are very thin in the backcourt especially if buike doesn’t suit up. We have felton and mason, and then douglas, so i guess at least that means douglas is going to be getting serious burn. It seems like they are confident in him and apparently he’s ‘worked harder than anyone’ this summer (i duno i read it somewhere), so this will be his chance to show he can play.

Also, i felt that fields’ skill set seem very 2ish to me, much more so than chandler at least, so maybe he’ll get some burn.

u can call me planters.

STEPH CURRY!!!!!!!

Geez another Isaiah related thread, he get’s asked a question he answers honestly and gets slammed for it! Anyway on the SG matter the grizzly have that draft pick they can’t sign, let’s clear the log jam we have at the sf spot and get this guy Henry! He fits our needs to a tee! If magoo let’s this dude get by without making a legitimate run at him because he is busy chasing an over priced rudy he would have again proven he is more of an accountant then a gm.

yeah,i’m sure thats how it works.Walsh is so busy with Rudy Fernandez ,that he’ll just let a 2 guard slip past him.he could have called the Grizz,ten times yesterday,and you would’nt know anything about it.

ENOUGH. Let’s not just write stories just to write stories. Let’s stop beating a dead horse. I’d rather read the nets blog. Wait, did I
Just say that. Oh boy.

Blackwood it seems that Henry isn’t high on Donnie or any other teams list, with all due respect I haven’t heard of him. I hear more about this Timofey and Mosgov then Azubuike.

I detest Thomas, but based on everything I’ve heard he is correct about LBJ seriously considering NYK. Much more so than those nattering nabobs at ESPN would have you believe. It’s one of the reasons I’m not calling for DW’s head. LBJ’s team was actually pushing for him to come to NY. They saw that it was his best opportunity for a Michael Jordan type of legacy. Aside from drafting Jennings instead of Hill, I’m not sure what DW could have done to have gotten LBJ. LeBron turned out to be a person/player/competitor none of us thought he was.

Did I mention I detest Thomas?
Dolan too (just for good measure).

good call..

X would be a great addition. Would love to see him in NYC.

His name is Timofey Mozgov. One player, not two.

The best line I’ve heard, that can be repeated in mixed company, is that Cleveland mistakenly spent years looking for a Robin to partner with Batman LBJ, when it turns out that Robin LBJ really wanted a Batman.

No Batman in NY, no LBJ in NY.

The folow-up is that Potland was never involved in the deal. It was a trade proposed by the Pacers of Randolph for their first round pick.

Speculation is that DW is looking to deal for a first rounder to put together a Melo package so the Pacers took a shot to see if DW would bite on it.

I think Portland is trying to keep the Rudy thing going now that they realize they have over-priced him and they may be stuck with him. They obviously don’t want to fold and look bad by accepting left-overs for him, so the new guy in the front office is trying to promote the illusion of a bidding war for him when it is obvious that no team is taking their demands seriously. What new head exec wants his first deal to be a fiasco?

even eternal optimist and web host Mr. Dee thinks Rautins has no NBA game. And he hurt his knee playing for Canada in the Worlds..

so yeah.. waste pick.. meaning i dont think we get anything out of him. though i like his stroke and think he MIGHT be able to contribute on an NBA level either here or somewhere else it likely wont be this year.

Fields is a heady player. hopefully he takes advantage of the opportunity.

old news.. Hahn reported that the deal was solely Indiana and NYK randolph for a first rounder and was rejected by donnie..

the connection was made to Portland and Rudy without basis.

i read this morning that the Bulls are ready to give up a first for Rudy but P Town wants more.. i dont get it./

Makes sense to me. Portland probably doesn’t feel like a late first round pick from Chicago is worth the additional salary for Rudy.

They probably feel it is more worth it to hold on to him.

Or perhaps they are just driving up the price.

Rautins has zero game.

Whoever thought of this post should jump off a bridge(don’t if you can’t swim). I mean come the F on already.

Whatever lol. Who cares?

C’mon Myles. You’re better than this man.

i havent seen one scouting report or pundit that had Rautins anywhere in the top 50 players.

im pretty certain if DW wanted him he could have got him as A non drafted free agent.

So what?

“Whatever lol. Who cares?”

Exactly.

Yea wise non-move by DW.

Sorry that’s how much I know about the second coming.

finest if u read the up on it on real GM & ESPN insider (i posted that the other day) they are getting offers and I’m not saying he is a superstar what I’m saying is he has high end skills that fit our needs to a tee. Chasing rudy in a narrow sited way would be foolish. he was the 12th pick he has an Allen Houston type game (not yet that level of shooter but could be) all I’m saying is magoo needs to think outside the box here.

“The best line I’ve heard, that can be repeated in mixed company, is that Cleveland mistakenly spent years looking for a Robin to partner with Batman LBJ, when it turns out that Robin LBJ really wanted a Batman.

No Batman in NY, no LBJ in NY.”

Real funny stuff. I mean that is it in a nutshell isnt it??? I have said before lebron did NOT want the pressure of playing in NY. He wanted to be able to take it easy not have any pressure and if u believe what I just typed then there was not a better place for him to go than miami. I mean come on. He has a bonafide at least 25 a night star next to him which is also a clutch scorer. He has a pretty good PF who can give u 20 and 10 pretty much anytime he wants. To be honest what the FRACK does lebron have to do? Score??? not really just a little maybe. All he has to do is pass the damn ball!!! He made the easiest choice.

Not sure why “what Isiah thinks…” even matters?

Could we possibly find a less credible source…Come to think of it, my son thinks LeBron seriously considered the Knicks too…he’s 8, why not interview him?

why in the world are we still talking about this?? who cares what Isiah has to say. it aggravates me seeing that headline.

of course LBJ considered the Knicks,he also consisered the Bulls,the Nets,the Clips etc etc etc

How in Gods name are the KNICKS supposed to aquire a guy ,who was the 12th pick of the draft? What do you give up for him? Plus the dude is turnover prone and has a worse handle than wilson chandler

He did say from the beginning that winning was the most important thing to him, not the money and not the accolades, so considering all of that doesn’t his decision make the most sense?

Funniest thing is before the draft the 2nd round picks were the most important thing in the world and then after drafting Rautins with the first pick the excuse has been “well it was the second round it’s not a big deal if he turns out to be a bust, it’s a crap shoot”, the double talk on this blog amazes me sometimes.

Frankly … Yes it does….
Of course I am still dissapointed as I think he along with Stat would be perhaps the best power dunkers we have ever seen on the same team since maybe darryl dawkins and Dr J on the 1977 sixers team. LOL!!!!

I am considering going to watch True Blood. I think this is the last show of the season….

chandler plus a second round pick?

Id rather listen to anything Isiah Thomas has to say than ESPN has to say.

No matter what anyone says about Isiah, that guy has more class in his left nut than anyone at ESPN has in their entire body.

I specifically remember saying those second round picks would not amount to anything and people in response posting lists of 2nd round picks they felt were all-stars.

We just haven’t been that good at the draft in a very long time. That is fact.

Uh… not sure about that one. We’ve talked about Isiah enough though.

Slow news day apparently. I guess TKB ran out of Mosgov highlights.

its only a slow news day on this blog (tkb)Alan Hahn has some vital RUDY info

yeah!you shoulda seen the class he had while he was blaming his daughter for his own O.D. and while he was grabbing BROWN-SANDERS ass
